Abstract: The present invention provides an improved process for preparing a highly water absorbent resin having a superior suction power and excellent gel strength, which comprises:   (1) dehydrating a polymer, which is prepared by partially neutralizing monomers or polymers containing a carboxyl or carboxylate group and polymerizing them, by using an azeotropic distillation method in the presence of a lipophilic solvent; (2) crosslinking the dehydrated polymer in the presence of a hydrophilic crosslinking agent and dehydrating the crosslinked polymer by using an azeotropic distillation method; and (3) filtering and drying the reaction products to recover the crosslinked polymer, wherein the improvement comprises: (a) in step(1), the polymer is dehydrated until it has a water content of 25% by weight or less based on the weight of the polymer; and, (b) in step(2), water is employed to penetrate the hydrophilic crosslinking agent into the intraparticle in an amount ranging from 7.0 to 25.0% by weight based on the weight of the polymer, for the crosslinking process and an amount of 60% by weight or more based on the added amount of water is removed from the crosslinked polymer during the dehydration process.

Abstract: In order to acquire measurement data during a nuclear medicine experiment of the tomographic type, with a gamma camera having two detector heads (8a, 9c), each of these heads is directed on a siting centre (28) while the assembly constituted by these two heads rotates around a centre of rotation (2) of the apparatus, the centre of rotation being separated from the siting centre. It is shown that this procedure makes it possible to go faster (34) on the one hand for the acquisition and furthermore to contribute to work involving tomography images which are more exact and more easily calculated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A double-walled pressure vessel comprises a thin-walled inner vessel (5, 6, 7, 8) made of a dense, corrosion-resistant material, in particular special steel, and a pressure-tight outer vessel (1) which has a shell (11), a transition part (12), a neck part (13) and a base part (12). The base part (2) and/or the transition part (12) with the neck part (13) are/is arranged inside a cylindrical or slightly conical end region of the shell (11). The base part (2) or the transition part (12) has an outer collar (4) which runs, at least in sections, approximately parallel to the end region of the shell (11), to which it is connected by a structural connection (9). It is particularly advantageous if the structural connection is a welded (9) or hard-soldered joint and the joint is located at a distance (a) from the inner base (5) considerably greater than the wall thickness (d) of the shell (1), preferably greater than twice the wall thickness (d). The outer vessel (1) can be made of highly tempered steel, e.g., 34CrMo4, without sustaining damage. The invention makes it possible to manufacture comparatively light pressure vessels, e.g., for high-purity gases.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of, and apparatus for, welding an element comprising paper to a thermoplastic material, without pre-treatment of the plastics material. In one described embodiment a laminate (12) comprising paper, with a vapour permeable, liquid impermeable coating on one major surface, was successfully welded to a polypropylene material (15) some 1.5 mm thick, the uncoated surface of the laminate forming the interface with the polypropylene, by subjecting the interface to conditions between two ranges of parameters, a temperature of 185  DEG C and a pressure of 460 kPa for a period of 10 seconds and a temperature of 220  DEG C and a pressure of 460 kPa for a period of 5 seconds. All the welds effected between said ranges of parameters produced an acceptable weld of the paper to the thermoplastics.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un récipient de distribution (1) comprenant un sac de barrage intérieur (9) ainsi qu'un procédé de remplissage dudit sac de barrage (9) avec la matière à distribuer. La structure de distribution comprend une pompe sans évent (13) et un siphon tubulaire (16) ainsi qu'un mécanisme conçu pour ventiler l'intérieur du réceptacle et décharger à l'atmosphère (10) et pour ventiler l'intérieur du sac de barrage lors du remplissage (14). Lors de l'assemblage et du remplissage, le sac de barrage entoure le siphon tubulaire (6) ou est replié sur celui-ci, de façon que ledit siphon tubulaire (6) et le sac de barrage (9) puissent être facilement insérés dans un réceptacle classique. Une fois inséré, le sac de barrage (9) est gonflé (par injection d'air ou par introduction du produit à distribuer) et rempli de produit. Après le remplissage une pompe (13) peut être fixée au réceptacle. Le procédé et l'appareil selon l'invention permettent d'utiliser un dispositif à sac de barrage sur des réceptacles de conception classique. Ce procédé et cet appareil sont particulièrement utiles avec des réceptacles constitués au moins partiellement de matériaux recyclés. L'appareil selon l'invention est particulièrement utile pour les produits à indice de viscosité élevé. Le réceptacle selon l'invention (1) contient un siphon (109) qui est inséré avant le  remplissage. Le remplissage s'effectue par insertion d'une buse de remplissage (12) dans le réceptacle (1) de façon qu'elle coopère avec la partie supérieure du siphon tubulaire (116). Le réceptacle (1) est donc rempli par le siphon tubulaire. L'évent prévu dans le siphon tubulaire permet d'évacuer l'air dans le réceptacle (1) au fur et à mesure que ce dernier est rempli. Etant donné que le réceptacle est rempli au moyen du siphon tubulaire, le produit (105) remplit complètement le siphon tubulaire lorsque la pompe est insérée dans le réceptacle. La structure d'évent (111) peut également être utilisée comme évent pour le réceptacle (1) lors d'une opération de remplissage.
